Zurich, Schweiz Department of Molecular Life Sciences Vollzeit

Department of Molecular Life Sciences_
**Head of Research and Development at The BioVisionCenter**
**100 % **:The need for computer vision in molecular life science research is rapidly growing due to an explosion in the use of spatially resolved measurement technologies across a wide range of scales, in combination with an increased demand for large-scale multivariate quantification of such datasets. The BioVisionCenter (BVC) is a recently launched new research center situated at the Irchel campus of the University of Zurich (UZH), co-founded by the UZH and the Friedrich Miescher Institute in Basel (FMI). Its mission is to become a worldwide leading research center for the promotion of comprehensive, scientific bioimage data exploration. Besides developing and implementing new technologies, the BVC will provide a computational platform as a service to its users that enables scalable bioimage analysis across multiple modalities and scales, from cryo-EM to whole organ imaging. As part of the launching phase, we are now seeking to fill two key positions.

**Your responsibilities**: The Head of Research and Development will lead the further development of the first computational platform of the center and build a community of users by adopting a heterogeneous ecosystem of image analysis tools developed across the large number of research groups at the participating institutions. In addition, she/he will be expected to participate in outreach activities to build strong ties with the national and international bioimage analysis and machine learning/AI community. She/he will report to the Managing Director (hiring in progress) and Scientific Director (tenured professor, in preparation), and work in a team with the Head Services (in preparation), and multiple systems administrators and software engineers and developers (some of which outsourced).

**Required**:

- A PhD degree with experience in life science or biomedical research.
- Experience with programming (e.g. Python).
- Experience with computational image analysis and machine learning in bioimaging.
- Ability to manage professional coders and sysadmin personnel to implement new tools and modules within a unified framework.
- Experience with scaling up computational tasks to high-performance and cloud computing environments.
- Strong social competence and an interactive character
- Fluent in both written and spoken English.

**Beneficial**:

- Fluent in both written and spoken German.

**What we offer**: The position will initially be for three years, during which the BVC is in a start-up phase and for which the necessary funding has already been secured. During this phase, the center will need to prove its long-term relevance and secure sustainable funding, after which the position is planned to become a tenured appointment at the UZH.

The BVC offers a highly attractive working environment embedded within an exceptionally strong, socially relevant research community in both the biomedical and computer sciences at the University and ETH Zurich, and finds diversity and inclusion as essential core values. Zurich is a young, dynamic, and international city offering a living standard that ranks consistently amongst the highest in the world.

**Place of work**: Winterthurerstrasse 190, Zürich, Switzerland

**Start of employment**: Employment start date to be mutually agreed.
